Strictly Limited Games announced that it is partnering with DotEmu to release physical editions of Nihon Falcom’s Ys Origin in Europe. The physical editions will be available on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, and are available to pre-order now from Strictly Limited Games’ website. The game is available in a €29.99 standard edition and a €44.99 Collector’s Edition — limited to 3,000 copies on Nintendo Switch and 1,500 copies on PlayStation 4 that includes:

• Physical copy of Ys Origin for Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 4 with exclusive reversible cover art

Ys Origin acts as a distant prequel to the series, taking place 700 years before the first game. The game was originally released for PC in Japan in 2006, with XSEED Games releasing an enhanced version in English for PC in 2012. DotEmu released PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita versions in 2017, with an Xbox One release following in 2018. The Nintendo Switch version is set to launch digitally later this year, with Limited Run Games handling the physical Nintendo Switch release in North America.
